Biology


The biology major introduces students to the fundamental concepts, principles, and procedures characteristic of several major conceptual approaches to organisms. The major provides a solid foundation in biology and also permits students to specialize in any of the major branches of biology.

 

The biology major is useful for students whose career plans lie in pure or applied biology; agriculture; biochemistry; biotechnology; botany; conservation, environmental quality, and natural resources; dentistry; ecology; food science and nutrition; forestry; genetics; horticulture; human medicine; limnology, marine biology, and biological oceanography; microbiology; natural history and nature study; pharmacy; plant pathology; public health; teaching of biology; toxicology; veterinary medicine; wildlife management; and zoology.

 

Students considering admission to medical, dental, or veterinary school should make an appointment to meet with an advisor in the Pre-Health Program. The office is located in 312 Hill Hall, and can be contacted via email, preprof@newark.rutgers.edu, or phone, 973-353-5705.


In the sophomore year, students majoring in biology are assigned a member of the faculty to serve as a permanent academic counselor; consultation with faculty advisors on a regular basis is imperative.

 

Information about the major is available in the biology departmental office, Boyden Hall Room 206, where the student must go to officially declare a major. Students are urged to meet with their advisors at least once each semester.
